With this exam I have now passed eleven unique cert exams. I only noticed today that I passed them all – without exception – at Pearson Vue exam centres.
I have registered for five exams at Prometric sites. I failed one, one I could not make the appointment, one was cancelled before I took it, and one was cancelled before I took it. I did pass the fifth one, but it was the beta exam for the new version of an exam that I had already passed, so it does not really count (unless we were to push my Passed exams to twelve, which doesn’t work).
Now that is not to say that I have passed every exam I sat for at Pearson Vue… there are four fails on that transcript, with my one and only re-fail so three unique exams. It is certainly not a perfect transcript; however eleven of fifteen is much better than zero of four, or I suppose zero of three if you want to give Prometric a walk on the exam that Microsoft cancelled.
Looking at the other side of the same coin, I have only failed one exam at Prometric, with four fails at Pearson Vue. I guess statisticians can skew numbers to say what they want them to say, so maybe I won’t add this to the juju column, and stick with my Jolly Ranchers which, by the by, I did not have for 70-621, the exam that I found out I passed today. Hmmm… Curious. Maybe exam success depends more on what I know and how well prepared I am than any silly superstition? Maybe I can wear what I want, bring what I want, and not worry about juju at all!
…on second thought maybe I’ll continue to prepare, and keep bringing the JRs… just in case!
